Coil Pack Issue/Question...

[Primal]

Hey All!

So, I'm doing plugs and wires here as I wrap up the LIM Gasket job and I see that terminal 5 is all rusted and 2 doesn't look as shiny as the terminals on the other packs. I was going to just Scotch-Brite the terminal and reassemble, but I'm wondering now if there's an issue with this coil pack. It looks possibly dead to me.

I have the plugs below also. The plug from #5 definitely doesn't look as dark as the others. It's fired for sure, but it's not like the others. I have 2 and 6 pictured for comparison.

Do I need to replace the 2/5 coil pack, all the coils or what?

Thanks!

Here's Plug #5

Here's #2

Here's #6

Well you can just replace the 1 pack with the oem replacement if you like but since your not saying anything about codes then its really up to you.

Yeah, I was going to mention that, to my knowledge, there were no codes. This is my mom's old car. She owned it since new. She got a new car and I "inherited" this one. As far as I know, there were no codes in the info center. I don't have a scan tool though, so I have no idea what that would say.

Well to be safe change it.

I'd just clean them up and use some di-electric grease so water can't get to them again.

I don't see a huge problems with the plugs, they kinda just look worn out to me.

OK, so I guess I'll just clean them up and run it to see what happens. I'll probably change them later, but it's not like I have to do it now or repeat a lot of work. They're on top

Thanks, guys!

plug 5 looks like it never fired. almost new, id clean the coil tips up with steel wool, grease them all and see how it runs with new wires and plugs.

Thanks, man. That's where I'll start before I start replacing stuff at least.

Definately how us CT guys roll. :th_thumb-up:

I've cleaned many and they seem fine after.
